She now sees Lucinda as a hypocrite, all talk and no action, and harbors a simmering resentment towards her.
[01 Oct 1868 00:00:00] Millicent's unwavering determination, a force that drives her to overcome obstacles, is a hidden strength she doesn't fully realize. However, she mistakes her ruthlessness, the willingness to manipulate and exploit others, for strength, blinding her to the damage it inflicts on herself and those around her.

[01 Oct 1868 00:00:00] Millicent doubts Lucinda Mayfield genuinely cares about the plight of workers like her.
